INTRODUCTION
Purpose of Manual
The purpose of this Pavement Design Manual is to provide the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) and consultant pavement designers with a uniform and detailed procedure
for designing pavements on CDOT projects. This manuals should be used after July 1, 2017.
Training
This manual provides general and detailed information about pavement design processes and
procedures applicable to various locations in the State of Colorado. Information on more
comprehensive training courses entitled Pavement Design and Life Cycle Cost Analysis and other
materials related training classes is available through the CDOT Materials and Geotechnical
Branch, Pavement Management and Design Program.

Data Collection
The data collected for new construction and rehabilitation projects are somewhat different. The
pavement rehabilitation project will take the largest data collection effort. In many instances, it
may be necessary to design for both pavement reconstruction and pavement rehabilitation. The
final selection between the two will involve a study of costs, traffic handling, and other related
items.
